It doesn't matter if it's CCS version 2.3 or 3.0, and they are both priced at the same low prices
And what's the point of demanding the most expensive Mercedes for the price of a cheaper model?
Both are quite good and none are crippled. And was Mercedes so greedy that is now ruined?
If you need the full version than you should be able to recover your costs easily. Otherwise I recommend upgrading to the Personal Edition for $119.95, without subscribing.
BTW, how much are you paying your Web hosting company each year? Or your Internet DSL/cable provider?
